A thumbs-up to audit: Organization, faculty member urge
environmental audit to assess conservation, waste at UK

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

An environmental audit to be pro-
posed to the UK administration is an im-
portant effort. students and faculty say.

“I think it's needed for examining the
excessive waste of energy." said James
Krupa. an assistant biology professor who
pointed to lights being left on unnecessari-
ly as one area that needs study.

Environmental audits. which have al—
most always been initiated by students.
seek to identify all the ways in which a
campus affects the environment around it.
from parking lots to food services.

UK's Green Thumb student environ-
mental organization is collecting signa-

tures for a petition to ask the administra-
tion to perform an environmental audit.

Krupa said his ecology students often
come to him with questions of how the
University handles environmental issues
such as pesticide use and mulching. and
because there has not been a study. he
does not know how to answer them.

"We could be terribly abusive or we
could be decent.“ he said. "I wouldn‘t be
surprised if there weren't a number of
things that need to be corrected."

According to “The Greening of Tu-
lane.“ a report by an environmental stud-
ies student at Tulane University. "campus
audits help clarify the connections be-
tween the campus and society.“

State’s leaders
want crackdown

Decreasing Kentucky's dependancy
on tobacco is a must, legislators say

By Illllary Cromer
STAFF WRITER

Most Kentucky legis-
lators support tobacco
control policies and want
to reduce Kentucky‘s eco
nomic dependence on to—
bacco. according to a
study by the UK College
of Nursing released this
week.

The study was led by
College of Nursing Asso-
ciate Professor Ellen
Hahn. who was assisted
by Associate Professor
Mary Kay Rayens. gradu-
ate student Carrie Mc-
Coy and former Research
Associate Chris Toumey.

The investigation be-

before the first meeting of
the State General Assem-

published last Week in
the American Journal of

  

Preventive Medicine.

“The most interest-
ing thing we found was
the interest in
strengthening laws be

(the legislators) have an

smokers quit.“

The study found that
most legislators support

laws. limits on promo—
tions to children, an in-

Out of the 115 mem-

supported a cigarette tax

The College of Nurs-
ing researchers wanted
to use the study to pro-
mote the sustainability
of rural communities.
while at the same time
helping legislators real-
ize how their opinions
on tobacco affect health
issues. Hahn said.

Many students have come to assistant biology professor James Krupa to aslt about how UK is using is using its resources. Green Thumb, a student group. is lobbying for an audit to find out.

Greener state of mind

Likewise. some students question
whether other students would care enough
to carry out such a largescale study.

"I don't think thcy'rc conccrned about
it." said Adriana (‘astanm a nondcgrec
student.

She said she did not think students
would become involved. since most do not
plan to live in Lt'xinuton past their college

Attachment message traveling through e-mails poses threat

By Richard Coolt
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

A new computer virus. happy99exe.
has been discovered on the University not
work. The virus travels as an attachment
to an e-mail message and will affect the In»
ternet connect programs on the infected
computer.

“It can overwrite parts of the operating
system." said Kathy Hamperian. director of
technical services for UK computer sys-
tems.

Eugene Kaspersky of Metropolitan Net
work BBS. Inc. says that if you receive an
e-mail or a newsgroup message with the at-
tachment HAPPY99.EXE. do not open it.
Delete the attachment without running the
file.

Only by running the executable file can
the virus infect the computer.

“There are a lot of hoaxes out there."
Hemperian said. “We checked the validity
and this is very real. Everyone should take
this seriously."

Clintonpusheseducationrefom

WASHINGTON — President Clinton and Vice
President Al Gore pushed proposed education re-
forms at a roundtable discussion with 53 gover-
nors from the states and territories. Clinton told
the governors attending the National Governors’
Association’s meeting that winning approval will
be “tough politics" but ultimately worth the bat
tle. Some of the governors indicated they were
pursuing federal Waivers to have some flexibility
now so they can use federal dollars allocated for
one purpose, such as reducing class size in prima-
ry grades for others such as preparing 10th
graders for high school graduation exams.

The virus will secretly at-
tach itself to any email mes-

computer on which it is run.

If enough computers
within the University net-
work are infected, said Clark,
the network could be shut

“It is a threat on a closed
system like (UK’s)," Clark
said.

The potential effect of
the virus, while not attack-
ing critical systems, is great.
Clark said Happy99 would
paralyze the network and
make it impossible to do any-
thing over the network.

But Clark pointed out that
with the information out
about the virus and the level
of security maintained by the
computer consultants, the pos-
sibility of the UK network
crashing is remote.

“Every computer consul-
tant makes sure people are

“We primarily wanted to
find out our legislators’ opin-
ion on the issues," Rayens
said.

“We also wanted to see if
their opinions would change
the second time around, when
they were separated from their
colleagues.”

Because the study was
done in two separate, confiden-
tial interviews with 84 percent

of the Kentucky General As-
sembly, it is possible for opin-
ions to change.

The researchers asked
the legislators how reliable a
statistic was and how easily
they believed the option

“The findings will be

HOW TO LAND YOUR DREAM INTERNSHIP

If you're starting to think about your career. even just an inkling. it
may be time to focus on finding a summer internship. Following are
some "insider" insights about how to land your dream internship in
some of today's fast—forward industries like media. entertainment.
fashion and high-tech. that likely don‘t recruit on campus.

WHAT TURNS YOU ON?

Not the typical first question you might think of when plotting your
first career experience. but you really should think about it.The best
places to work are often the places that make or do things that
already interest you. And who wrote the rule that work shouldn't
be fun? ”It helps to start by thinking about which classroom topics
interest you the most and what hobbies get you excited." says
Samer Hamadeh. President of Vaultreportscom and the co-author
of "America's Top Internships“ and "The Internship Bible.“ two of the
most useful books on the subject.Take his advice and ask yourself
some questions. Do you spend a lot of time listening
to music and going to concerts? Maybe you should
check out working for a local radio station. a record
label or a music publishing company Are you a
devoted athlete? Try contacting a fun sporting goods
company. a fitness magazine. or a sports talent agency.

CHECK IT OUT.

’t know existed)

CREATE YOUR OWN IOB

After you've asked yourself what you like. and thought of some of
your favorite products and activities. you may find that many of
your choices lead to smaller or less structured companies that likely
don‘t recruit on campus. or that don't have a formal internship
program. Don’t get discouraged!! In fact. think of it as a huge
opportunity because you can potentially create your own job!
There‘s nothing wrong with calling or writing a company out of the
blue and letting them know who you are and what you're
interested in. Many of the smaller companies will be thrilled to have
been approached and more than likely can use the extra hands for
the summer. One of Hamadeh's favorite stories is about a college
student who was interested in sports law. The guy figured that
Michael Jordan's law yer must be pretty good at it. so he read a
bunch of newspaper articles until he found the guy‘s name. then he
wrote him a letter explaining why he wanted to work for him. "The

lawyer had never received a letter like that from anyone before.”
Hamadeh says. ”So he brought him in for an interview and was so
impressed that he hired him for the summer.“

SELL YOUR SELF, NOT YOUR NUMBERS

Just because you may not graduate cum laude doesn't mean you
won‘t qualify for some of the most selective internship programs.
"You have to make yourself sound interesting." says Price Hicks. who
hooks students up with summer jobs at places like Warner Brothers
as part of her work with the Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences. ”The guy who wrote about growing up on a dairy farm is
the one we remember best'The people. who may have the best
grades. but drone on and on about why they want to be television
directors all tend to blend together. she says.

SCIENTISTS CAN BE IOURNALISTS

Remember that the purpose of an internship is
to gain experience. The idea is to ~test drive"
career options that you think might interest you
for your future. And what interests you for a
career may have nothing to do with what
interests you in school (How many psych majors
actually become psychologists? How many
history majors become historians? You get the
point). You never really know what someone
might be looking for. so don‘t feel intimidated by internships that
aren't directly in your field of study. Case in point. a biology major
beat out a slew of journalism majors for one of three highly
coveted internships at the Center for Investigative Reporting. Out of
approximately 90 applicants. she was among those with the least
direct experience. "It just so happened we were working on a
project about chemicals in the environment. so her skills came in
handy and she ended up playing a big role in the reporting.” said
Maryann Sargent. who is the internship coordinator at the Center.

REMEMBER THAT SMALL CAN BE BIG

Sometimes. you really may be better off going to work for a
company where the duties of an intern aren't well defined. In small
but super fast-growing internet companies, for instance. there's
always a lot going on. so interns can often show up on day one and
pick the things that interest them the most. ”Our interns will always
be working on several different projects.” says Jeff Daniel. who runs
a cool new service called CollegeHire.com that helps match up
undergrads with hightech and lnternet-related internships and
entry-level jobs. "We look for people who can adapt well to the
culture of fast-moving companies and can
excel in an environment that's

changing rapidly.” Big change

means new opportunities.
Secret

and that‘s where a hungry

exciting areas and make

Phi Sigs rolling the dice

All for charity: Fraternity hosting gambling night in support
of Special Olympics; raffle prizes include trip for two to Florida

By Richard Cook
ASSISTANi um canon

Gambling may lead to a moral downfall
for most. but Phi Sigma Kappa social fra-
ternity plans to use the tables to raise mon-
ey for its national philanthropy.

Phi Sig is hosting a casino night
tonight to raise money for the Special
Olympics. and will raffle off a trip for two
to Florida.

The party takes place from 7 pm. to
about 11 pm at the fraternity's house on
439 Huguelet Drive. Admission is $7 per
person and will buy $3,000 worth of play
money to gamble.

“The excitement the Special Olympics
generates for people." said Dave Trevey. a
management junior and a president of Phi
Sig. “This is so much more visible (than
other philanthropy projects).“

The fraternity sponsors the event as
part of their national philanthropy cam-
paign for the Special Olympics. “We feel it
offers us better opportunities to directly af-
fect real people," Trevey said.

”It gives me a good feeling overall,"
said Scott Burnside, a marketing sopho-
more who will be working security at the
fraternity house.

“I got to meet some of the kids that Spe
cial Olympics helps and this is another way
for us to help them. too.“

A1150 Phi Sig members will be working
the party. some at the gaming tables, others
working security.

Local businesses have donated sup-
plies for the evening, allowing the money
raised to go exclusively to the Special
Olympics.

Games coordinator Phil Kopczynski. a
history education junior, said the fraterni-
ty has had great response from the Greek
community. especially the sororities. Phi
Sig expects between 200 and 300 people to
attend the event and encourage all students
to attend.

Throughout the evening. poker. black-
jack and roulette tables will be set up. Stu—
dents can also play ping pong and Twister.
Kopczynski said.

”The idea is to rack up as much cash as
possible throughout the night." said Angelo
James. biology freshman and scholarship
chair for Phi Sig.

The money won at the game tables will
be used at silent auctions and a large auc-
tion. held at around 10:30 pm.

The auction will give students the
chance to bid on items donated by several
local businesses. including the Cinema
Grill, the Holistic Massage Company and
Hooters Restaurants. Silent auctions will
be held throughout the evening and items
include the new Mac and Sammy beanie
babies and Kentucky Thoroughblades
tickets.

At the end of the eveninU. the fraterni-
ty will rafile off a $500 travel voucher.

“It is for a trip to Florida. but people
can go wherever they want," Trevey said.

The fraternity tried to get donations
from local travel agencies but Were only
able to purchase the travel voucher.

“it's enough to pay for the airline tick-
ets, a hotel and a week in Florida." Trevey
said.

The money for the travel voucher came
directly out of the fraternity‘s event budget
and is its only major expense for the
evening.
